Well you Geordie readers can laugh, because the buggers have done it again ... away from St James' Park.
But Manchester City new manager Roberto Mancini is "kissing butt", saying it is a storm in a tea-cup.
Craig Bellamy has ruled out a move away from Manchester City and insists Mancini has his full support.
Bellamy (talking to the Daily Mirror): "I want to stay and I am going to stay. I am committed to that. I am committed to Man City.
"I have bought into the idea of where Man City is going to go and I am a huge part of where it is at this stage.
"I have no problem with Mancini. It's not his problem he's here. What happened to Mark Hughes has got nothing to do with him.
"I hope Mancini will stay for a long time because I am from the mould of thinking stability is the key to success. I hope he gets a number of years to do it and, as long as I last, I will give my all for him."
As for Shay Given ... Mancini says he is among the world's top five goalkeepers.
Mancini: "Shay is among the top five keepers in the world.
"You have Buffon, (Petr) Cech and a couple of others but Shay is right up there. Against Stoke he made saves in one or two situations that were absolutely crucial."
